Note to the reader: This is now the third time I have re-written this chapter. I got a review saying that it did not contain enough emotion and it was supposed to have none. A went back and re-red it and it has too much… So I re-wrote it again to get rid of that… so there needs to be a new note to the reader…

The sex scene in this chapter begins with borderline rape. If you are a bit squeamish or younger than 18, you probably should not read this.

Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters from Pirates of the Caribbean.

Chapter 3:

A Failed Attempt at Decency

The short boat ride back to the Black Pearl was silent. Elizabeth knew she had been wrong to think that Will could love her more than anything else in his life. His love for a man that left him as a boy to go pirating was more important to him than she was. She didn't know if she would ever find someone else but she did know that she had been saved from a doomed marriage.

When Jack pulled the small boat up alongside the Pearl, Elizabeth quickly grabbed onto the rope ladder and pulled herself up and over the side of the ship and onto the deck. She ignored the questions from the crew and went straight down to the lower deck where her small but private room was. She didn't want to answer anyone's questions, besides, she was sure Jack would answer whatever questions needed answering.

"Does she know?" Mr. Gibbs asked as he helped Jack onto the deck of the Black Pearl.

"She knows. I also think our friend William knew a little more than I thought," he said as he steadied himself on the deck. He looked around at the crew who were staring at him, hoping for more information on the comment he had just made. After a short but awkward silence, he spoke up, "Back to work. All of you. Let's get this ship back to Tortuga." He then promptly turned around and headed for his cabin.

It was dark when Jack heard footsteps on the deck. They were not the usual hard thump, thump of a crewman's feet but rather the softer sound of a woman's step. Jumping up form his desk, spilling a small amount of rum that was left in the bottle he had been drinking from, he rushed out onto the deck.

Elizabeth was leaning against the railing, staring out into the deep blue water, lighted only by the sliver of moon that shown through the clouds. Jack walked over to the railing and stood, leaning lightly on it, facing the opposite direction in order to allow himself a view of her face if she chose to show it.

"I know what he told me was a lie," Elizabeth began, "I just can't bring myself to believe the truth. I've been in love with him for too long to abandon him that easily. But I know I'm not in love with him anymore." She turned towards Jack. Before she realized what had happened, Jack had grabbed her and forced her up against the outer wall of his cabin.

Jack wasted no time. He had Elizabeth to himself now and he wasn't about to let the opportunity slip him by. He pressed his lips to hers. The kiss was far more forceful than passionate, which is what he had been trying for. Unfortunately, being a pirate, "passionate romantic" was not in his job description.

Elizabeth was struck silent for a moment. All she could do was stand there, waiting for her strength to return to her. When it did, she began to try to push jack away, not wanting to jump into bed with him the same night she left Will. She may be in love with a pirate but she still wanted to keep her decency.

When Jack realized that Elizabeth was trying to push him away, he pulled her away from the wall just long enough to pick her up. Once he had her in his arms, he walked quickly into his cabin and shut the door behind him with his foot.

"Put me down! Now!" Elizabeth ordered as Jack carried her into his cabin. She knew her demand would have no effect. If Captain Jack Sparrow wanted a woman, he would have her and Elizabeth knew she was no acceptation.

Jack stood her on her feet, his hands back on her shoulders to keep her from moving away from him. "We both know who you love," Jack said, his voice lustful and deep, "stop trying to push me away." He pressed his lips to hers again, distracting her long enough to rip her shirt open and push her down onto his bed.

Elizabeth gasped as she felt the air touch her bare stomach. She looked up at Jack who had removed his effects and was now approaching her. She knew she wanted him. She wanted him more than anything, 'but why am I being so resistant?' she thought to herself, 'because he's a pirate,' she thought, responding to her own question.

Jack pulled his own shirt over his head, revealing his well toned chest. Elizabeth's eyes opened wider when she saw the mass of scars that covered his chest. "So the stories are true," she said, her eyes not moving from Jack.

With a sinister grin, Jack placed his knee between her legs and leaned over her, "Everyone one of them luv," he replied, his hands moving to the buttons on her trousers. His hands made quick work the buttons and before Elizabeth could protest, they were laying on the ground next to the bed.

When Jack leaned down to kiss her again, she could feel the bulge in his trousers against her thigh. As if something had been triggered within her, she suddenly abandoned all her hopes of decency and being proper. Her hands flew to his groin and she quickly unbuttoned the cloth.

Jack abruptly stopped kissing her and moved so he could see her face, "I knew you'd warm up to me." He stood just long enough for his trousers to fall to the floor next to Elizabeth's.

Placing his hands on either side of her head, Jack entered her with such force the entire bed hit the back wall and Elizabeth screamed with pain. Pausing for a moment, Jack let her get used to the feeling before he began to pump himself in and out of her.

"Jack, stop. Please," Elizabeth said, still trying to get over the pain the initial violating had caused. Jack didn't say a word. He stopped thrusting, leaving himself in her. His hand moved to her breast, then down her stomach. He paused, placing his thumb between Elizabeth's legs and stoking her softly.

The pain was gone. Elizabeth could feel nothing but Jack inside her and the slow motion of his thumb. He stopped, leaving her breathless and wanting. Leaning over, he kissed her again then pulled himself out of her.

"What are you doing? Why did you stop?" She asked between gasps of air.

Jack grinned, looking down at her, his hair falling off of his shoulders and surrounding his face. Without a word, the grin left his face and he plunged back into her, forcing another scream from Elizabeth. This time, it was from pleasure, not pain. Jack grabbed her waist. Quickly and effortlessly, he turned over, leaving Elizabeth sitting on top of him. She leaned over and began to rock back and fourth over his groin, causing his breathing to speed up and his eyes to grow with intensity.

She kissed him. For the first time she kissed him on her own accord. She could feel his sun-chapped lips and the soft hair of his moustache on her upper lip. She continued to press her lips to his until she could not breath. Lifting herself up into a sitting position, she began to ride him faster, causing her to gasp softly with each movement.

Jack, growing wild with pleasure, couldn't take it anymore. He grabbed her again, flipping her over and setting her down beneath him. He began to thrust himself as far into her as he could. "Oh god," He muttered, his body trembling.

Elizabeth suddenly realized what was going to happen if he continued. "Jack," she said, trying not to moan as she said it, "Stop Jack. You can't…" She was interrupted when she felt her climax begin. "Oh Jack, oh god Jack," she cried out with pleasure, forgetting what she was going to say. Before her climax had subsided, she felt Jack spill inside her, hot and urgent.

"Jack, that was…" Elizabeth began, her arms wrapped around him, holding him to her. Before she could finish her sentence, there was a knock on the door.

"Damn it," Jack muttered under his breath. Looking from the door to Elizabeth he said, "Wait here, this probably won't take long." He stood up, pulling out of her as he did. He quickly pulled his clothing on and rushed out the door, leaving his effects and a few pieces of clothing on the floor as well as Elizabeth who was still lying naked in the bed.

Note to readers: I got a comment on this chapter asking if Jack had taken her virginity. At first, I has assumed no but then I thought about it and when she was with Will, she was a "good girl." This story is about Elizabeth coming over to the "Dark Side." (Too bad I don't write Star Wars fan fics… lol) Anyway, so I changed this chapter so Jack DID take Elizabeth's virginity and he did it out of wedlock. It's just a bit of symbolism about the change that Elizabeth made…. Also, please read the note at the beginning of the chapter for the reason why I changed it again…
